The present paper aims to analyse the language use in the interactive field of online comments, which appeared in the online discussion site of the Siebenbürgische Zeitung Online forum. The analyse focuses on the performance of the speech act sanctioning at the linguistic level – lexical, morphological, syntactic, pragmatic. The participants to the process of interaction, who are members of the Siebenbürger Sachsen association, introduce discussion topics on the political situation in Romania or reply to others’ comments by taking a stand on the topics. The authoress takes the theoretical stance of pragmalinguistics, speech act theory and intercultural communication in assessing language facts.
The present paper aims to analyse the linguistic forms and the discourse strategies used in the written press of the 1950’s in order to unmask the political class enemy and thus to support and validate the political power. The cited examples are taken from the newspaper Neuer Weg and the newspaper Scînteia, which report in many editions show trials of persons who are considered by the political authority to belong to the group of class opponents, those persons being presented in the journalistic texts as class enemy. The language use shows aggressiveness and virulence, schematized linguistic constructions and repetitions, while certain specific features can be identified at lexical, morphosyntactical and pragmatic level. The authoress takes the theoretical stance of sociolinguistics and pragmalinguistics in assessing language facts.
